In some implementations, a memory device may obtain, from a host device, a first one or more commands associated with a first identifier. The memory device may maintain a first counter associated with tracking active commands from the host device. The memory device may detect an event, associated with a command, at a first time. The memory device may switch, based on detecting the event, an active identifier for commands obtained after the first time to a second identifier. The memory device may initiate a second counter associated with tracking active commands that were obtained prior to the first time. The memory device may perform an action associated with a command that is associated with the first identifier. The memory device may update, based on performing the action, the first counter and the second counter based on the at least one command being associated with the first identifier.

A request to read data from a location associated with a memory component is received. The request is assigned a first tag, the first tag having a first identifier of a first buffer to store data read from the location.
